For some reason the golf course just doesn't look like such a good
option from the air...so many trees and doglegs.. I can't see any
fairways, but I know they're there...I've played the course (very
narrow).

However, there is a Home Depot and a strip mall just beyond. I've
often wondered if the roof could withstand a landing...it looks like
an easier target than a runway! It would be VERY tempting if I were
coming down. The parking lot seems uninviting with all the light
poles and people. What do you guys think? Would the roof make it?

I certainly wouldn't try it. Most Home Depot type roofs have a load
bearing capacity to accommodate the local weather (heliports and such
excluded). Around here, that means about 24" of snow as a worst-case
scenario. Considering that your typical light plane applies all of its
weight in the roughly 1 sq. ft. per tire (at rest), the loading is quite a
bit higher than weather is likely to create. Then, consider that the
actual loading is considerably higher than that due to the inertia, and
you're pretty much guaranteed a tragic result. Flat is not necessarily
solid!
